Abstract
A packaging for a rotating packed bed and a method for fabricating a packing for a rotating packed bed. The packaging comprises a polymer material and a lattice structure formed by one or more unit cells configured in a altered FCC arrangement. The lattice comprising of altered FCC unit cells can be extended to a predetermined size for an increased surface area for mass transfer within the rotating packing bed.
Claims10
A packing for a rotating packed bed, comprising:
- a lattice structure formed by one or more unit cells configured in an altered FCC arrangement,
- wherein the altered FCC unit cells are extended to a predetermined shape for an increased surface area for effective mass transfer and separation of gases/liquid within the rotating packing bed.
A method (500) for fabricating a packing for a rotating packed bed, comprising:
- creating (502), a 3-dimension model of unit cells configured in an altered FCC arrangement, wherein the structure having a configuration to increase surface area for mass transfer within the structure;
- and
- fabricating (504), the structure using a 3D printing technique using a polymer material.
